Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Chapter 318 A Piercing Heart!

When Mizuno Maki caught a glimpse of the smile on Kamishiro Shirokaze's lips, a wave of shyness and panic washed over her, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

"It's really not mine..." she pleaded urgently, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness, "It was the shop assistant who dropped it..."

"I know." Shiro Shiro interrupted her softly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, as if amused by her shy appearance.

He reached out and took the box of condoms from her, then walked steadily toward the female shop assistant who was still busy tidying up, and politely returned the item.

Then, he turned to Mizuno Maki and said, "Let's go."

Maki Mizuno nodded shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed, the radiant red as beautiful and moving as the sunset.

She silently followed beside Shiro Kaede, her heart pounding wildly, the sound of her heartbeat seeming to echo in the night sky, lingering for a long time.

The two walked side by side, and as night fell, the neon lights of Shibuya began to flicker, illuminating their figures.

Shibuya is bustling with activity at night, with crowds of people leaving get off work and a lively atmosphere everywhere.

Just then, a street photographer walked towards us.

"That couple over there looks really good together," a man's voice suddenly came from the side.

Upon hearing the voice, the photographer immediately turned his head and keenly captured the high school students, Shiro Kaede and Mizuno Maki. Their outstanding appearance and youthful energy immediately attracted his attention.

"Hello, I'm a street photographer." He greeted them with a smile, his Polaroid camera already ready. "Seeing the two of you walking together, I feel a strong sense of youthful energy from high school students. May I take a picture of you two?"

Shiro Shiro and Mizuno Maki both paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance.

Shiro Kaede didn't seem to care, but Mizuno Maki appeared somewhat nervous.

However, when she recalled the situation in the novel written by Shiro Shiro where the two could not be together for various reasons, a surge of courage welled up in her heart.

"Actually, I'm fine with anything, what do you think, Kamishiro-kun?" she asked cautiously.

Shiro Shiro shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Upon hearing this, a joyful smile immediately bloomed on Mizuno Maki's usually cool face.

Under the photographer's guidance, they stood in front of a backdrop on a street corner.

Mizuno Maki's heart began to pound wildly. She secretly glanced at Kamishiro Shirokaze, only to find that he was looking at her too. A blush immediately rose to her face, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer.

Seeing how well-matched the two looked, the photographer couldn't help but ask curiously, "You two really are a perfect match, are you a couple?"

However, Shiro Shiro knew that Mizuno Maki didn't like him, and just like when he answered others before, he shook his head and denied it at this moment:

"No."

"We are just classmates."

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki pursed her lips, her expression somewhat forlorn, and felt an indescribable pang in her heart.

Even though I knew that Kamishiro-kun would say that, it was still hard not to feel a little sad when I actually heard it.

But she also knew that this was because she had rejected Kamishiro-kun.

So it's perfectly normal for him to say that, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

But since we're not a couple now, we can be in the future!

She knew that Kamishiro-kun still had feelings for her.

With this in mind, Mizuno Maki quickly cheered up again.

The photographer, who overheard their conversation, couldn't help but feel embarrassed for his own loose tongue.

But these two high school students are really a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

And they were still walking together so late.

Even if they're not lovers, are they classmates with some kind of ambiguous relationship?

So his misunderstanding was understandable, wasn't it?

The photographer coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said with an apologetic smile:

"Sorry, it seems I misjudged."

"Even if you two aren't a couple yet, just as classmates, you'd be perfect to take a picture together."

"Come on, both of you, please look at the camera here."

Following the photographer's instructions, Shirakaze Kamishiro and Maki Mizuno began to adjust their positions.

Standing beside Shiro Kaede, Mizuno Maki felt her heart race and a wave of shyness wash over her as she thought about having a solo photo with him soon.

"Come on, both of you, please look this way and smile at the camera," the photographer instructed.

Both of them started to smile as the photographer had instructed.

“You can get a little closer,” the photographer suggested.

Mizuno Maki pursed her lips, then became a little bolder. She moved her feet slightly closer to Kamishiro Shirokaze, pressing her arm tightly against his.

“Okay, keep it like this!” the photographer shouted.

At this crucial moment, Mizuno Maki's shyness reached its peak. She couldn't help but steal another glance at Kamishiro Shirokaze, wanting to see how he would react to her sudden closeness.

However, the photographer captured this moment, and he could tell that the girl definitely liked the boy.

Without hesitation, I pressed the shutter at that very moment, capturing this instant filled with youthful energy and subtle emotions.

Click~

As the shutter clicked, a photo of Shiro Kaede, with her ethereal and delicate features and a smile, and Mizuno Maki, who was secretly watching him, was captured in that instant.

As the Polaroid photo slowly moved out.

The photographer first looked at the photo, and when he saw it, he was very satisfied.

However, instead of handing the photo to Shirakaze Kamishiro, he handed it to Maki Mizuno.

"Your photos are both very beautiful."

"Miss, come over and see if you're satisfied."

Maki Mizuno was a little confused, but she didn't refuse and stepped forward to take the photo.

But when she saw herself secretly gazing at Shiro Kaede in the photo, her cheeks instantly turned bright red, as if they could bleed.

At this moment, Shiro Shiro also walked over curiously and asked, "How about it? Let me take a look too."

Maki Mizuno was extremely shy. She immediately covered the photo tightly with her hands, as if afraid that someone would discover her inner secrets.

She stammered shyly, "No, no..."

Kamishiro Shirofumi was somewhat confused, but he gently insisted, "Let me take a look."

However, Mizuno Maki was so embarrassed that she could barely lift her head. She shook her head repeatedly, her voice barely audible.

"It really, it really won't work!"

The photographer stood by, witnessing this vibrant scene of youth, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

He didn't disturb the young couple, but quietly took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket.

After lighting a cigarette, he took a deep drag, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and quietly left the youthful scene.

finally.

Even Shiro Shiro still couldn't see what the two people in that photo actually looked like.

He returned home.

"I'm back." Shiro Shiro's voice echoed in the entrance hall.

Hearing his voice, Ayaka Sato quickly came out of the living room to greet him, her face beaming with joy: "Welcome back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she charged at Shiro Kaede, who had just entered the room, with the ball in her arms.

Shiro was touched by his aunt's enthusiasm, but Hokumi's natural reaction made him a little embarrassed.

He felt a subtle change in his body, and his face flushed slightly. He quickly and politely pushed his aunt away.

Sato Ayaka was unaware of Shiro Kaede's unusual behavior; she excitedly shared the good news:

"Bai Feng, you actually wrote that book, 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas'?!"

"My voice actor colleagues all say that your novel has a very high chance of being adapted into an anime, and it might even be made into a movie!"

"It seems our family is really going to produce a great writer!"

To cover his embarrassment, Shiro Kaede hunched over, leaned against the wall with one hand, and coughed a few times before saying:

"Auntie, I have something in my hand. Let's go inside and talk."

Sato Ayaka then noticed the items in his hands and quickly took the ingredients from him, saying, "Let me help you with these."

As she spoke, she bent down to get something, but in doing so, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shiro Kaede's crotch.

Her face turned bright red at a visible speed, and after quickly grabbing the ingredients, she practically ran away from the scene with her head down.

Watching his aunt's departing figure, Shiro Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had almost been discovered.

He was also worried that Erina Kamishiro would notice his embarrassment, so he used his backpack to cover himself up a little.

"Welcome back." Erina Kamishiro slowly peeked her little head out from the sofa.

Upon seeing Erina, Shiro Shiro instinctively wanted to reach out and rub her head, but considering his current situation, he could only helplessly stop his hand in mid-air, then slowly withdrew it and turned to walk into his room.

Erina Kamishiro was about to let Bai Feng rub her head, but she noticed that he stopped rubbing it halfway through.

She was stunned for a moment, then her mood turned very bad, and she looked angrily at Shiro Kaede's back.

Back in his room, Shiro Kaede put down his schoolbag and couldn't help but punch his own thick rice twice.

That's my aunt!

How could you react again?

Thank goodness!

"Now that I have a girlfriend, don't you dare flirt with other girls!" Shiro Kaede said solemnly, looking at his thick rice.

Hao Houmi didn't understand what Shiro Kaede said at all, and remained as firm as a rock as before, as if she was protesting silently!

Seeing this, Shiro Shiro shook his head helplessly.
